1 New Bremen Middle School Band Handbook Academic Year
2 Dear Parents and Students, Welcome to the New Bremen Middle School Band Program! I am very much looking forward to this year, as I am sure you are too. I am excited to continue working with the bands at New Bremen, and continue to raise the bar in musical excellence. In this handbook you will find information about the bands at New Bremen Middle School, as well as rules and guidelines, grading policies, classroom and performance expectations, and a calendar of events for the year. Please mark all of the dates in your calendars so that you can come and support your child in their musical endeavors. Parents, please read through this handbook with your child, and sign the last page acknowledging that both you and your child understand the expectations and responsibilities of the New Bremen Band Program. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by telephone at (419) ext. 2015, or by at ryan.yahl@newbremenschools.org. With our parents cooperation, and our students hard work, I expect this to be a great year. Sincerely, Ryan M. Yahl Director of Bands New Bremen Local School District
3 Statement of Purpose The New Bremen community has made available substantial support in order that the children and young adults within their community can partake in and appreciate music and music performance. To that end, the New Bremen Band Program seeks to educate students in music theory, technique, performance strategies and etiquette, knowledge and comprehension of the role of music in society, esprit de corps, and other areas of music education with the intention of providing each participant the skills and desire to enjoy music as an integral part of their life now and in the future. Enrollment Once a student is enrolled in band, he or she is a member for the duration of the school year. Band is a traditional class, not an extracurricular activity. Students will receive grades and are expected to adhere to all policies established by New Bremen Local Schools and this Band Handbook. Attendance in class and for performances is required. Band Materials and Requirements All students should bring with them to class: - A complete, fully functioning instrument with a case. - The appropriate book for your instrument, and folder with music. - A pencil. (It is best to keep one in your folder.) The following materials are specific to instrument: Flute: Clarinet: Saxophone: Horns: Trumpets: Cleaning swab and rod. Cleaning swab, cork grease, and a reed case. At least 3 working reeds at all times. Reeds should be at least #2 in strength. As a player matures, 2.5 or 3 strength reeds should be purchased. Cleaning swab, cork grease, and a reed case. At least 3 working reeds at all times. Reeds should be at least #2 in strength. As a player matures, 2.5 or 3 strength reeds should be purchased. Valve oil, mouthpiece brush, and cleaning snake. Valve oil, mouthpiece brush, and cleaning snake. Straight mutes may be required depending on the repertoire, but do not buy one unless advised by the director. Advance notice for mutes will be given.
4 Trombone: Euphonium: Tuba: Percussion: Slide lubricant, cleaning snake, and mouthpiece brush. Valve oil, mouthpiece brush, and cleaning snake. Valve oil, mouthpiece brush, and cleaning snake. Bell mallets and snare drum sticks are required. Additional sticks may be required depending on the repertoire. As percussionists mature, they should continue to collect various types of sticks and mallets. The following equipment may be of interest along the course of study: - A stick bag - Vic Firth SD 1 Drum Sticks - 1 pair of plastic mallets for bells/xylophone - 1 pair of yarn-wrapped mallets for marimba/vibraphone/suspended cymbal - 1 pair of Black Swamp Medium (Green) timpani mallets - 1 pair of wire brushes for drum set or jazz/swing style music Some accessories such as reeds, valve oil, and cleaning supplies may be purchased through the band office. If you are in need of supplies, please see Mr. Yahl, or feel free to visit one of the reputable music stores in the area. School Owned Instruments It is a privilege to be able to play a school owned instrument. Every student that rents a school owned instrument will be assessed a fee at the beginning of the school year. The fee shall be paid by check, cashier's check, or money order only to the New Bremen Local Schools. The fees collected are used for regular maintenance and care of the school owned instruments. Abuse of a school owned instrument will most likely result in revocation of the right to use school instruments, referral to school administration for disciplinary action and repayment of cost for repair of the instrument. This applies to percussion equipment as well. At no point should you attempt to repair a school owned instrument on your own. If the instrument is not functioning, you should notify Mr. Yahl as soon as possible. If you own your own instrument, it is advised that you do NOT attempt to repair it yourself. Instruments can be sent into Rettig Music for repair. Classroom Rules Failure to comply with any of these guidelines may result in a warning, detention, call home, being sent to the principal for further discipline, or even removal from band. In addition to the following policies, all school policies are to be followed. 1. Respect others. Keep hands, feet, and comments to yourself. 2. Throwing of any objects will not be tolerated. 3. Be on time to class.
5 4. Be prepared for class with all required materials. 5. Do not talk during class. 6. Raise your hand if you have a question. 7. Do not bring any food or drink to class, including gum. 8. Mistreatment of instruments will not be tolerated. If damages are caused due to mistreatment, the student who caused the damage must pay the cost of repair. 9. Do not allow other students to play your instrument. 10. No blasting of instruments. Careful warm-up before class begins is encouraged. 11. Help keep the band room clean. After rehearsals, help pick-up any trash that may have ended up on the floor or stands. Performance Policies All New Bremen Elementary and Junior High School policies and classroom policies apply to performances as well. 1. To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late. Be prepared BEFORE the meeting time. That includes having your instrument, all you music, and knowing when to meet. 2. Make sure to wear the proper concert attire. 3. Be respectful of other ensembles. This includes listening to them perform, not talking while they perform, clapping for them when they are finished, and treating them the way you would like to be treated. 4. Please listen to any director or chaperone s instructions. 5. When we are at performances, remember that you are part of a whole. Anything said or done by you reflects upon both the New Bremen Band Program and New Bremen Schools. Please have pride in your program and be a great representative of your school. Travel Policies All New Bremen bus riding policies and school handbook policies apply as well. 1. All band members must travel to and from activities on transportation provided by the school. 2. Only band members, staff, and chaperones are permitted to ride school buses. 3. If a parent wishes to have their child ride home with them after a performance, then the parent must present a signed note to the director in advance and must personally meet with the director upon leaving with their child. 4. Be courteous to drivers and chaperones. They are in charge and you are to follow their directions. 5. Remain seated at all times. Keep heads, hands, and arms inside the bus. 6. No screaming, whistles, or other loud noises. 7. No playing of instruments is allowed on the bus. 8. Upon arrival, you are to remain seated until further directions are given.
6 Grading Policy Daily Points Ten points can be earned every day. Three (3) points are earned by being prepared for class, and seven (7) can be earned for effort, participation, positive attitude, improvement, and good behavior in class. Performance Points Performances are worth 100 points. Students will be graded on performance attendance and behavior. Attendance is MANDATORY; therefore an unexcused absence from a performance will result in the dropping of a letter grade. If a student is unable to attend a performance, a written note (signed by a parent/guardian) must be submitted to the band director as soon as the conflict is known. Last minute excuses that are non-emergency in nature may be considered unexcused. Excused absences include the following: sickness and/or injury, family approved vacation, death in the family, and any other reasons deemed acceptable by the director. Behavior at performances will also be a portion of this grade. Proper performance behavior includes being on time, prepared, listening to other performing ensembles, and following directions. Tests Playing tests will be given to ensure good practice habits and to give students short-term playing goals in between performances. Playing tests will often, but not always include multiple students playing in front of the director or in front of a recording device to be later reviewed by the director. Written tests will be given to reinforce musical terms and ideas that have been emphasized in class. Grading Scale District Wide A = A- = B+ = B = B- = C+ = C = C- = D+ = D = D- = F = Below 65 Miscellaneous Concert Attire Students need to wear the following in performances outside of the school day. Gentlemen Collared dress shirt, dress pants, tie, and dark dress shoes. Ladies A dress, or skirt/dress pants with a dress top, and dress shoes. Dresses and skirts must be at or below knee length.
